Wasted talent. 15 original songs in 29 years. From the guy who gave us AFD & UYI. If that isn't a tragic waste I don't know what is. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post kiwiguns 458 Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 (edited) Some of you guys really need to step outside the world of this forum. To wish any person a happy birthday and then mention something for your own selfish reasons, is more of reflection on you as a person.. Cannot some of you just wish the man a happy birthday and leave it at that... How about being a decent human being, and in this case, leave your issues at the door... Happy birthday Axl Edited February 6 by kiwiguns 12 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved 87-93 band, But then I grew such a deep passion for NewGnr '01-'06 band. And then we know what happened to that band. So imo anything from NewGnr era even if released is dead and gone. Worst than that is when you hear all these talks about Slash gonna play over Bucket parts, Duff on Tommy and so on. So I'm out really. But to each their own and I'm happy about you and your positive thinking. I hear ya my man. Keep in mind that the music you grew up on in regards to the classic era of the band, two integral ingredients of that lineup are now back in the fold along with Axl. I reckon they can still work their magic on whatever material they use. That's what I tell myself - plus, I'll listen to anything with Axl Rose on vocals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cineater 1,282 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Loudwire did an article about the 6 nicest things Axl has done. https://loudwire.com/nice-things-axl-rose-has-done/ I can add he went to visit those kids in the cancer hospital in England. Gave that waiter a $600 tip and a ride home. Was incredibly kind to Muhamad Ali. Helped Smut when she was in the hospital. I'll think of more just those come to mind. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a bunch of whiny bitches. Stay out of the birthday thread if you have nothing else to add but the usual whining for the umpteenth time. This is a fan forum so call me mad for being a fan and expecting people to be a bit less negative than elsewhere on the internet. Sad that people who choose to see the glass half full or just are grateful for what the band and Axl have given us can't even get one thread without the usual bitching. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My own post in the thread wasn't negative, but I get where everyone is coming from that chose to go negative. That's actually why I included something like "we only bitch because we care" in my post and that was before anyone even posted anything negative. Are there trolls who post negative stuff just to post negative stuff? Yep. But I really do think the majority of people who post negative stuff do so because they just want GN'R to do/be better. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd actually say GNR fans are some of the most tolerant really. Imagine if another 'high ticket price' band (say U2 or Foo Fighters) turned in performances as sloppy and lifeless as that Vegas show last year, or some of those Selects shows? Their fans would be absolutely savage. Imagine if those bands just stopped releasing releasing material, ever, and played the same set, night after night, year after year? Again, their fans would rip them to shreds. They just wouldn't accept it. The fact some of us are still interested in GNR in 2021, and still here, I think shows a MASSIVE amount of positivity. Sure there's the odd person who seems needlessly savage (I'm not personally a fan of talking about how band members look really, as that seems a bit much) but they really are very rare and a lot of it is probably trolling anyway. On the whole most people seem to want the band to just do things we all know they are more than capable of and live up to the (massive) potential they have in 2020/2021. Anyway, on the incredibly rare chance that Axl may read this- Happy Birthday. Have a think about releasing some of that stuff you don't think is good enough hey? A lot of us here certainly think it is. Edited February 7 by allwaystired 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This forum is far more balanced than 99% of the rest of the internet. I don't mean "other forums", I mean the whole internet. People that say this place is negative must have never gone on Twitter, or Facebook or most certainly not the GN'R YouTube comments section lol. In any case, I truly hope Axl had a good day yesterday, just like I hope anyone else enjoys their birthday. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's said before a few times that he has difficulty with it because 1) it gets too depressing and 2) he doesn't know how to phrase things that doesn't sound like he's calling everyone a liar. I kind of worry that the reunion made this way less likely, but that said I am still really hoping. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fan forum, yet there are so many people who use every thread to say something negative about the band or Axl. I have read a lot of fan forums in my life, and apart from one other one, this is the most negative fan forum I have ever read. I'm always very critical, at other forums I used to post I always got shit for being ''negative'', but I wasn't negative, I was being critical and that should be allowed. There is enough about GnR that I don't like either, but being critical isn't the same as making the same complaints in every thread and always having something negative to add. And you see that a lot around here. There's no denying. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
